    Musician Taurus R2R DAC

    Jonathan, how is the bass in terms of quantity, and not just quality? Also would you say it is as impactful as the Mojo Mystique?

    Musician Audio Pegasus R2R DAC

    New to the club. I have a Pegasus on the way. After many years of using a Metrum Pavane, and then a short stint with a Mojo Audio Mystique, I’m giving the Pegasus a shot, based on Arthur at Power Holdings, and the thread from @jonathan c. I really liked the very musical sounding Pavane, but...

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Gotcha. I’m in the USA. Even though it did go relatively smooth for me, the guy who is the US distributor said that Final or Audio in Japan is it necessary the best at communicating

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    What country are you in? I sent an email to Final audio Audio on a Sunday and they responded back on Wednesday or Thursday. I think they told me it would take three or four weeks for me to get them back, but it ended up being about seven weeks.

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I have no idea what it actually was. I just know that it seems to me that was the issue. On the other hand, they told me they couldn’t find anything wrong with it but replaced it anyway.

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    No problem. The left driver stopped working. I have a feeling that it was the socket that the cable termination sat in. I was actually the third owner and it had looked a little hinky when I got it. So even though they needed to replace the one side, they do replace both regardless.

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I already stated above that they go back to Japan, at least if you’re in the United States. I sent mine back to the US distributor in December, they sent to the Japan, I got them back about seven weeks later. It doesn’t matter where you buy them in the United States. If you have an issue and...

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    They are pretty bad. I got lucky that I got a hold of somebody here. It just so happens that Final audio distributor is also the Cayin distributor for the USA as well and I knew him from that.

    Final Audio D8000 Planar Magnetic Headphone

    I had a problem where my left driver stopped working and I contacted Final audio in the USA. I shipped it to them and they shipped it to Japan. They won’t replace one driver as they say they both have to match sonically. It was $1900 with the two year warranty. They actually ended up giving me a...

    T+A HiFi - DAC 200 - Official Discussion Thread

    That’s what I was thinking. My plan is to upgrade my K22 and then it will be easier to use HQP. However right now I want to see if this DAC is in the ballpark using PCM. That’s why I was curious which settings give its best foot forward using PCM.

    T+A HiFi - DAC 200 - Official Discussion Thread

    I appreciate the reply. Not going to be applicable in my case was right now I’m using an Antipodes K22, and I’m not sure if there’s any settings to do that. I’m going connect it and let it play and if it sounds good, that’s great if not, I’ll pass. I buy equipment to plug and play and listen...

    T+A HiFi - DAC 200 - Official Discussion Thread

    I’m getting the DAC 200 this week on loan to demo. I read through a lot of of these thread and saw some of the recommended filter settings. Are there any other recommended settings I should set to get a good indication of the sound? For the time being it’s only going to be for PCM. I’m...

    And reading through the review of the Oladra, it seems to take the same path as what I said originally earlier today about what happens when you go up the chain. Some people might take that review as an upgrade, I would take it as a disappointment. Of course that’s based on my own musical taste...

    I have a Paul Pang Audio OCXO Quad Switch that has a five rail linear power supply. I’ve tried others over the years and to me this sounds the best in my system.

    Is that the one on Hi-Fi Advice? I skim through that before I bought anything. I’ll have to revisit it. Btw, I’ve seen your name on other forums in the past, (I think What’s Best), and every time I see your avatar, I say to myself: “ God Damn Eagles”!! I’ve been a Cowboys fan for decades. 😃

    If someone has listened to, or owned, and can compare the sound difference between the K22 on its own versus the K22+ K41 and/or the K50, I would appreciate it.
